Digital camera reviews of HP Deskjet 6980 Color Printer (C8969A#B1H)
Digital camera Review: Not sturdy or durable
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this printer 20 months ago and have used it only on weekends. I like it for printing on card stock--the colors are true, without using the expensive 99 photo cartridge (which does, when used, make nice photo prints on glossy paper). I have never liked the way it shakes when printing. Last week, in the middle of Christmas-card making, it stopped printing yellow. I changed the cartridge; the left cartridge light flashed and is still flashing. Nothing recommended--swabbing the cartridges, plugging and unplugging--can get the light to stop flashing or the printer to start printing. (Both the old and new cartridges, by the way, worked fine on this printer's twin at my office.) After an hour of on-line chat with "Phillips" at HP, who didn't know much, he determined what I already suspected, which is that this is an out-of-warranty hardware problem, which means that the printer is dead. Seems like an early demise for a machine that has been so lightly used. All that said, I will probably stick with HP (6988) because I have invested in cartridges. They really get you coming and going--printers that are worth even less than what you pay for them plus ink that costs an arm and a leg.
